Re: EHM 1 Database & Saved Game Editor
In editor dates display okay with new formula 1 Jan, 2 Feb etc. but some leagues exporting dates with incorrect format which i posted on screen early. But maybe its due my polish version of excel
If it works fine with You then its not a big deal.
We get some error today and I thought it might be cause by this but seems other problem.
Now I tested importing functions with staff.xlsx file from szczepek and seems DEL & DEL2 transfers were properly imported. Good job archi!

Great! I am glad to hear this. Thank you for letting me know.Named wrote:Now I tested importing functions with staff.xlsx file from szczepek and seems DEL & DEL2 transfers were properly imported. Good job archi!
I also have arena and league updating/importing up and running too. I am testing this as part of my Spanish update. My aim is to release the next version by the end of this month (which should be suitable for use with the TBL Rosters research).

It's not possible. Multiple persons have written instructions in how to achieve that, and a user even shared his own DB with Vegas added.Saibot88 wrote:Not able to find it.Alessandro wrote:Archi!

Re: EHM 1 Database & Saved Game Editor
Can someone explain to me how I can get the 9.4 roster update into the editor. When you subscribe to the database from steam, there is no file to import into the newest updater that was created.

In content you will have to look around for the db and you will soon find it.

Re: EHM 1 Database & Saved Game Editor
Has anyone tried this? I'd like to increase the salary cap in an ongoing save, as currently many top level players end up unhired because all teams have pretty much maxed out their cap.archibalduk wrote:The Transfer Rules screen contains these settings. However, editing of saved games is very limited and you might find it does not work as expected or at all.MikelPickle wrote:I was just trying to edit the NHL Salary Cap, but I cant seem to find where to do it.

Re: EHM 1 Database & Saved Game Editor
Hi everyone,
Thanks for the great editor that is in the works! Very clean and very useful so far.
However, I am just recapping, and it may be on the cards. But is there a way in the editor to filter players by team to edit, etc?
Thank you very much for taking the time to provide an update. Cheers

Re: EHM 1 Database & Saved Game Editor
Is there any proficient way in the current state to export and edit?
Apologies for being a rookie her asking this, I love my editing and was curious. I did lots of editing in the 2007 version but not this one.

Re: EHM 1 Database & Saved Game Editor
Can we somehow check without simming that option in Nations -> Citizenship Years is working? On Lithuania its set 0 and foreign players didnt get lithuania citizenship but in Poland after 1 season they get it even we have setup 5 years on Poland country.

Re: EHM 1 Database & Saved Game Editor
I'm not aware of any way to check other than simming. If it is not working then I suggest reporting it to Riz via the SI Games Bugs Forum.

I hardly doubt it's an editor problem.

Re: EHM 1 Database & Saved Game Editor
FYI - I have tidied up this thread and have moved the post about the Vegas expansion to the Vegas Expansion Thread and the posts about editing the NHL structure to the Rules and Structures Editing Thread.
Named - note that Nino uploaded his sample DB here. I just wanted to flag this in case it gets overlooked in the tidy-up.

Re: EHM 1 Database & Saved Game Editor
I love the editor, it keeps EHM entertaining for me but recently I have had some problems. I added the golden knights as a team and added some players to them, I also made sure I put them in the Met division and made them an NHL team, I put them in the eastern conference and I added an extra team to the NHL but every time I'm initializing game data it freezes and crashed. I also get the error messages unable to find right number of teams and unable to enter teams. Does anybody know what I'm missing or what I can do to fix this?

Re: EHM 1 Database & Saved Game Editor
I am trying to make Scott Gomez as a non-player Coach for the Islanders in my roster, I am able to create him just fine but when I start a new game I receive an error about a non-player coach missing from the coaches table. I also tried not assigning him to the Islanders and just making him a free agent, but when I select him in the scouting screen to view his stats the game crashes.
I must be missing a step somewhere!

Sure, within the editor (v1.9):archibalduk wrote:Can you tell me exactly what steps you take please? This will allow me to recreate your issue/help you.
1) Added a new player/staff by clicking 'Add item' under People -> Players & Staff.
2) Filled out the Basic Data page:

3) Filled out Non-Player page:

4) Saved the roster and attempted to load the game.
5) Received this error when trying to start a new game:
